Portrait of Maria Rosa Walburga von Soyer
by MARÉES, George de, Oil on canvas, 88 x 69 cm
The companion-piece of this portrait represents Franz Carl von Soyer, the husband of the sitter. These portraits, painted slightly more than half-length and facing each other - a common device in paired portraits - are executed in a loose technique against a neutral background.
The work of the Swedish painter George de Mar�es could be described as international. His style was based on the experience he gained from his travels in Italy, the Netherlands and Germany.
